MKE wins Day After New Year’s Midwest Tournament
January 2nd, 2011 Madison,Wisconsin
I woke up early on Sunday at Ben Hunter’s to Dillman yanking the sleeping bags I had made into a bed out from under me then an hour later the next generation came clamoring down the stairs. I told them to jump on Joe and Brian to wake them up. That continued for about 10 minutes until they got their lazy asses up. Ben and Grace then made us some breakfast and coffee and we were out the door to the warehouse.
Despite the pretty big sized cracks and dangerous things coming out from the wall there wasn’t much to complain about. We were playing polo inside in January with our oldest friends and rivals. It was a round robin style mini season with no finals bracket. A game was two halves, 20 minutes each. Just each team playing each team once, better record wins. I’m not sure what would have happened in the case of a tied record, but it didn’t matter, MKE crew went undefeated.

Overall this was just a ton of fun and I couldnt have asked for a better way to start off the New Year!
Make sure to check out Dane’s photos if you scroll down the blog page. You’re wondering why there aren’t any of MKE in action, aren’t you? It’s cuz Dane was on the court slaying!
What you can’t see in my hand in the window is an airhorn that Joe had brought and made the mistake of letting me hold while he napped
Caught ya sleeping bro!
